Xenios Anastasia Resort and Spa

Not a 5-star hotel and you will pay a higher price for tax (€15/night), it's at most a 3-star hotel. The biggest shock was having our all-inclusive wristbands taken away on the last day at 11:00 AM, right after breakfast and checking out of the room. We had to wait for our airport transfer until 6:45 PM without any access to food or drinks. We could have paid €24 per person to keep the all-inclusive option for those few hours, but we declined and instead went to town in the afternoon for a pizza. We have been to many all inclusive places around the world and it is the first time such thing happened to us. Rooms are visibly cleaned, but surfaces require wiping with wet wipes – only then are they truly clean. Almost every room had some kind of issue. In our room, the hairdryer didn’t work. In our friends’ rooms, the fridge and TV were broken, and in another room a few things also didn’t work. Only after the tour operator's representative got involved did the hotel staff actually take care of it. When I asked personally about fixing the hairdryer and whether it would be done that day, they just said “possibly.” But after we complained to the rep, it was handled immediately. Our friends even got their room changed. In the main building there was hot water, but in the adjacent building where our friends stayed, the water was lukewarm at best, and the room was very cold and damp – despite it being the end of May. Food was okay but repetitive. For more demanding guests, the choice will be limited and definitely not up to 5-star standards. Due to the small number of guests, the Greek night event was cancelled. On the plus side, it’s quiet here (at least in the olive grove area, where you can lie down and read a book). The nearest small town is a 45-minute walk away, and there are no buses. The only options are renting a car or taking a taxi. To sum up, this hotel leaves a very average impression. I wouldn’t recommend it and I wouldn’t return. You can find something better for a similar price, for example in Possidi, just 10 minutes away by car, where there is a beautiful beach for sunsets and at least some infrastructure. The beach at Anastasia is rocky, and because it's located on the first finger of the Chalkidiki peninsula, it's extremely windy. At 23°C it was impossible to enjoy a pleasant swim. We only managed to sunbathe and swim later at Orange Beach / Paradise Beach on Sithonia, where, despite similar temperatures, it wasn’t as windy and felt much nicer. One big plus was the Rainbow Tours representative, Ms. Magdalena, who organized everything perfectly and solved every problem. Without her, the stay could have become unbearable. Thanks to her, it was okay – but as I mentioned before, this hotel is only worth it if you find a really good deal, like €800 per couple with a flight from Poland. Otherwise, it’s just not worth spending more on this place.

Don't stay here, seriously, don't. Not 5 star by a long mile. All inclusive is a bit of a joke. Had more insects in the bed with me than I've ever wanted in my life. Mould. Smells. Lack of food or entertainment. One day the plumbing messed up and no one could have a drink for HOURS, and I mean water. Our party eventually got some, but the guy expected a hero's welcome on his return from the staff sink... too much to mention negatively. The view is beautiful, that's it.

Nice place, ideal for families, pool with bar, rooms are clean, they are cleaning every day, kitchen is good, tasty food, great value for the price. Sea is 50-80 m away, many sunbeds free, natural shade from olive trees is the best, beautful landscape between hotel and the beach. Staff is great there, very hard working crew, l am glad to meet those people. Chef of the kitchen was singing great at the Karaoke party. Probably see you again next year.

We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday. We enjoyed the sea, the pool, the food and peaceful scenery. Olive grove is so restoring. All staff members were very kind to us. We will definitely go back again. Special thanks to highly accommodating manager, Kyriakos.

The hotel is very small, it’s located very closely to the beach and have a nice garden with olive trees. That all good things. The rooms are very old, bad lights, bad facilities. It offers you All inclusive Ultra service, but there’s nothing ultra. Alcohol only local with a bad quality, there are no any cocktail cards in any bars, so you even don’t know what you can order. Most of the things ale extra pay, like drinking water, apple juice , milk cocktail. You can’t get bottled water for drink for free, it’s extra pay. When we check in to the room, we didn’t find anything in the minibar, but in the official website they say that beers, wine, soft drinks in bottles and drinking water are included in the All inclusive ultra package, and also everything renew daily. But not, they don’t provide you anything. Only on the second day, when I asked where is the water and all the staff they mentioned in the website, they filled minibar, but nobody renew it daily. There is no any animation for kids of adults, beach is dirty. I don’t recommend this hotel to anyone.
